Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I'm sorry but I can't be of help to you but drop by the chicken laws section of the forum https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/37/local-chicken-laws-amp-ordinances-and-how-to-change-them
Also check out your state thread for others in your area who could help you https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you

Good luck and hope you are able to have chickens in your area.
Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Code has literally no reference to poultry, chickens, or livestock. The only animals covered are dogs and cats (and "wild" animals which are defined as non-domesticated).

§ 133-6 Maintenance of penned animals.
Dogs and other animals which are penned outside of the home shall be adequately housed in shelters of appropriate size for the size of the animals. Adequate food and water shall be provided for the animals.

§ 133-11 Keeping wild animals.
No person shall own, harbor or keep any wild animals, including but not limited to skunks, raccoons and foxes, as pets unless said animal is purchased from a duly certified pet shop and/or an appropriate state or federal agency.

Both dogs and cats are limited to 4.

You can always call the city, but there doesn't appear to be any language forbidding keeping chickens, and you'd be extra safe if you limited your flock to 4.

Thank you. Checked and they have a lot about dogs and cats, but nothing about chickens. Also about wild life. So I assume I'm good.
